The playoff quarter-finals are imminent in the German U20 Young Talent League. The best-of-five series in the Top Division starts on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
After a discovery phase at the start of the season and the subsequent double round with 28 match days, the eight best German young talent teams qualified for the playoff series. They placed in the final table of the main round Kölner Junghaie in first place, followed by the Eisbären Juniors Berlin and the Düsseldorfer EG. The other playoff participants are: ERC Ingolstadt, the EV Landshut, the Schwenninger ERC, the Young Polar Bears Regensburg and the Krefelder EV.
The defending champions are the Jungadler Mannheim, who did not make it into the top eight U20 teams this season.
League leader DFEL & DEB-Young talent game operation Manfred Lang: “We are already looking forward to exciting playoff series with the eight best teams from the U20 young talent area. We will see many of the “usual suspects” but also some secret favorites on the ice in the knockout round games Fans It will be exciting to see who will hold the championship trophy in their hands at the end.”
